LOS ANGELES, CA (April 23, 2012) – Leading
casual game developer and publisher, Legacy Interactive, announced
today that
Criminal Minds is now available online and in retail
stores. The game is licensed by CBS Consumer Products.

Join the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, an elite team of
criminal profilers, as they analyze the twisted minds of unknown
perpetrators. Scour crime scenes for clues, interview witnesses and
suspects, and carefully analyze evidence to focus on the criminal,
not the crime. Blending light adventure game play with exciting
hidden object searches, players can now keep persistent inventory
as they crack each puzzle, solving diverse mini-games and puzzles
smoothly integrated into each case. Play as each member of the team
using their own area of expertise to pinpoint where the predator
will strike next on the map.

“
Criminal Minds is one of television’s most popular
shows, and with good reason. We are very pleased to be bringing the
beloved franchise to the casual gaming audience,” says
Ariella Lehrer, CEO of Legacy Interactive. “The graphic
quality and inventive storylines will be faithful to the show, and
I’m sure that will delight our customers and fans of the show
alike.”

Spark” -- and over 6 hours of gameplay.
